Kraft wants Brady to retire a Patriot. Does Brady feel the same way?
Patriots owner Robert Kraft told CNN this morning that he would sign Tom Brady to a one day contract tomorrow if he could. Kraft wants Brady to retire with the organization. The question is, does Brady want the same thing? Brady retired yesterday after 23 seasons in the NFL. He spent 20 of those seasons with the Patriots winning six Super Bowls, three regular season MVPs and four Super Bowl…

Thanks to Belichick, things were worse than we thought with the Patriots offense.
Thanks to a bombshell article in yesterday’s Boston Herald by Andrew Callahan and Karen Guergian, we got an inside look at just how dysfunctional the Patriots were offensively this season. According to sources who spoke to Callahan and Guergian on the condition of anonymity, the offensive staff was described as “disheveled” and that they were”scrambling” to get things done. One source went as far as to say “I love…
Adrian Klemm would be a home run hire as Patriots offensive line coach
The Patriots hired Bill O’Brien as their offensive line coach today but they may not be done. Former Patriots offensive lineman Adrian Klemm interviewed with the team for the offensive coordinator of position and could be a candidate to coach the offensive line. Klemm is currently the assistant head coach, run game coordinator and offensive line coach for the Oregon Ducks. Klemm was Bill Belichick’s first draft pick in 2000…
Stone: Making the case for Brady’s return following news of O’Brien hire
Image courtesy of Matthew O’Haren/USA TODAY Sports Tom Brady, quarterback of the New England Patriots in 2023. Has. nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Whether you think he’s over the hill or believe he still has good football left in him (like I do), you’ve got to admit, it immediately brings back the memories. But in reality, is it all that crazy to think he could end up back here?…
O’Brien set to be new OC for the Patriots, what’s it mean for 2023?
Image courtesy of the New England Patriots Patriots’ fans year-long nightmare is over. The forward pass will be returning to Gillette Stadium in 2023. Multiple reports this morning had Bill O’Brien returning to New England to be the offensive coordinator of the Patriots. Someone who actually knows offense will be calling plays in 2023, pretty interesting concept huh? O’Brien will return to the organization for the first time since 2011…
Jerod Mayo sitting in on offensive coordinator interviews is strictly to help him
In our never ending quest to figure out who might replace Bill Belichick some day, we have tabbed Jerod Mayo as the latest heir apparent. Mayo signed a contract extension with the team two weeks ago and was expected to be named the Patriots defensive coordinator. Many including myself have speculated that Mayo sticking around and turning down heading coaching interviews is a sign that he might be the coach…
Could the Arizona Cardinals could be the deciding factor in whether or not Bill O’Brien becomes the next Patriots offensive coordinator?
Bill O’Brien has long been considered the favorite to be the Patriots new offensive coordinator. He interviewed with the team yesterday and by all accounts, he is the favorite. Many at the highest levels of the organization including owner Robert Kraft want O’Brien. Despite that, O’Brien is far from a lock to be the Patriots next offensive coordinator. Despite having a history with the organization and being from the…
Left field candidates aplenty in the Patriots OC search but I still think Bill goes with someone he knows
Over the course of the past week, we have bandied about the names of possible offensive coordinators for the Patriots. Members of the media have combed over the rosters of coaching staffs across the league to try to find coaches that are connected to Bill Belichick that could be possible coordinator candidates. I have said from the beginning that the offensive coordinator list for the Patriots is short. We all…
